Centre County Farm Bureau Now
Open.
The Centre county farm bureau was
officially opened on Friday of last
week with R. H. Olmstead, late of
State College, as the farm agent. For
the present he will have desk room in
the office of the county superintend-
ent on the first floor of the court
house but Mr. Olmstead has planned
to spend most of the time among the
farmers of the county.
That is, as soon as he secures a
proper means of conveyance in the
shape of a Ford car practically all his
time will be spent in traveling over
the county and doing what he can to
aid the farmers in growing bumper
crops to help out the food supply of
the year. However, he expects to be
in his office every Saturday and of
course spend his evenings and nights
in Bellefonte.
And now that the farm bureau is an
established fact in Centre county the
farmers should not hesitate to avail
themselves of any and all help the
farm agent can give them. His ad-
vice and assistance will be free for
the asking, and we feel certain that if
any farmer in the county has had un-
usual success in the growing of any
kind of a crop and will tell the farm
agent just how it was done he will
gladly disseminate the information to
others. For co-operation in the dis-
semination of valuable information is
just as necessary for universal success
in a big farming community like Cen-
tre county as it is in any big business
line.
Mr. Olmstead can be reached on
either phone, by letter, or by a per-
sonal call at his office. As stated
above, Saturday will be observed as
office day. The extension representa-
tive may be found in the office on that
day and on other days by appoint-
ment. Arrangements have been made
to answer telephone calls at all times.
If he is not in the office when you call
leave your name, address and tele-
phone number so that he may get in
touch with you as soon as possible.
Mr. Olmstead has personally assur-
ed the “Watchman” that whether it
be an office call or a personal farm
visit the services of the farm bureau
are free, and he “hopes that residents
will co-operate to make it of the
greatest value to the county.

Lectures and Demonstrations.
An opportunity for the girls and
women in Centre county to become
more efficient in patriotic service is
offered by the county Y. W. C. A.
Plans are being made whereby regu-
lar classes may be held or lectures
and demonstrations given in any part
of the county. Any person is eligi-
ble. It is not necessary to be a mem-
ber of the Y. W. C. A. to have this
privilege. There will be no charge,
but in classes where text books are
required each member, of course, will
be required to furnish her own book,
note book and pencil.
Anyone wishing to form a class or
hear a lecture, can do so by getting
enough of people interested then noti-
fy the general secretary, telling her
what is desired. This may be done by
any organization, such as a Sunday
school class, a Grange, or an individu-
al. If there is anyone in the commu-
nity available as a teacher the secre-
tary should be so notified; if there is
not one will be furnished by the coun-
ty Y. W.C. A.
Anyone who is interested in avail-
ing herself of these classes should get
busy at once and send in a request, in
order that a schedule of classes,
teachers, lectures, etc., can be ar-
ranged. These classes, lectures and
demonstrations cover a wide range
and a complete list with any other in-
formation desired can be obtained by
addressing the general secretary,
Miss Margaret Hiller, Woman's build-
ing, State College, Pa.
——DBeginning Sunday, May 27th,
the evening train east over the Bald
Eagle Valley railroad will not stop
in Lock Haven, as it does now, but
will be run direct through to Wil-
liamsport, thus obviating the necessi-
ty of changing cars at Lock Haven
and also doing away with the half-
hour layover there. The train is
scheduled to arrive in Williamsport at
10:25 o'clock. Thus Bellefonters can
leave here at 8:30 P. m,, and be in
Williamsport in five minutes less than
two hours. The train will not lay
over in Williamsport but will leave
that city at 10:45 and return to Lock
Haven, where the night will be spent.
This will do away with the train now
leaving Williamsport at 8:50 for Lock
Haven and intermediate points.

Sudden Death of Rev. Father McArdle
Bellefonte has had many sudden
deaths of its representative citizens
during the past few years but few of
them came with such a shock to the
community at large as that of Rev.
Father McArdle, on Wednesday after-
noon. As was his custom he left the
parish residence about two o’clock for
his customary afternoon stroll. At
the corner of Bishop and Allegheny
streets he stopped and joked with the
men at work digging the foundation
for Kelley’s new garage. He then
leisurely walked down town, stopping
for a word or two with a friend here
and a friend there. He went out
Water street to the railroad then ev-
idently walked the railroad track out
towards the furnace. When about op-
posite where the office of the Standard
Scale and Supply company used to be
he stepped off the railroad track to
the right to allow the Lewisburg train
to pass and at the instant, almost, was
stricken with apoplexy.
W. C. Coxey had been on a fishing
expedition on Logan’s branch and was
coming in the road on his way home.
When he was opposite the old furnace
site he heard some one cry out as if
for help and looking towards the rail-
road saw the head and shoulders of a
man reclining against the bank on the
west of the railroad track. His first
thought was that the man had been
struck by the train and he hurried
across but it was not until he arrived
there that he discovered that it was
Father McArdle. He was lying
against the bank with his head prop-
pred on his hand and still conscious.
He was able to tell that he had not
been hit by the train but was very
sick and asked Mr. Coxey to get help.
Two men were cutting wood on the
hill above and Mr. Coxey asked them
to run to the nearest telephone and call
Naginey’s store and tell him to get
help and come out as Father McArdle
was very sick. Mr. Naginey,and Al
Rishel went out at once. In the mean-
time Father McArdle grew rapidly
worse and several times repeated the
numbers 284, but by the time Naginey
and Rishel got there he had passed
away.’ People living in that vicinity
had gathered meanwhile and the body
was carried across the road and just
then Dr. Dale happened along, stop-
ped and made an examination only to
find that Father McArdle was beyond
help and that his death was the re-
sult of a stroke of apoplexy.
Rev. Father Patrick McArdle was
born in County Tyrone, Ireland, on
St. Patrick’s day, (March 17th) 1843.
His boyhood life was spent there and
when a young man he received his
classical education at St. Patrick’s
College, Armagh. He later took an
ecclesiastical course at the Ecclesias-
tical College of Maynooth. He then
came to the United States and com-
pleted his course at St. Mary’s Col-
lege, Emmittsburg, Md. He was or-
dained to the Priesthood by Bishop
McLanahan, of Harrisburg, in 1875,
and his first parish was the Catholic
church at Lewistown. He remained
there five years and on July 15th,
1880, he came to Bellefonte as pastor
of St. John’s Catholic church. He at
once decided to improve the property
here by building a new church and the
handsome stone edifice on Bishop
street is the result. Not content with
that he had the old church reconstruc-
ted into a convent, erected a new par-
ish house and turned the old one into
a parochial school and also erected a
home for the Sisters, so that in his al-
most thirty-seven years’ pastorate he
accomplished more than the lifetime
work of the average man. He was
beloved by his church people and was
recognized throughout the State as
one of the brightest and ablest of
Catholic clergymen.
Personally he was a man of delight-
ful character. Easily approached,
with a kind and sympathetic nature
he never was too busy to listen to the
trials and troubles of others and give
what assistance it was in his power to
give. He was always interested in
the welfare of the entire community
and ready to take his part in any pub-
lic movement that was for the better-
ment of Bellefonte. He will be sadly
missed by his congregation, by his
church at large and by the people of
this community.
So far as known his only surviving
relatives are two nieces, Sister Mary
Euthrafia and Mrs. Green, both of
Philadelphia. Solemn requiem . Mass
will be held in the Catholic church at
ten-thirty o’clock tomorrow ulorning,
after which the remains will be laid
to rest in the Catholic cemetery.
Father J. N. Codori, of Johnstown,
has been delegated to take charge of
the Bellefonte parish until a new
priest is selected.
Friends are specifically requested
not to send flowers to either the house
or the church.

CARSON.—James Stevenson Car-
son died quite suddenly at his home
in Bush’s Addition at 10:15 o’clock on

that time had lived a retired life at
his home in Bush’s Addition. For a
number of years he served as tipstaff
at the court house under Judge Orvis.
Mr. Carson was a member of the
Methodist church all his life and a
good, christian gentleman. In fact
it has been mainly through his efforts
that the little chapel at Coleville has
been kept in a flourishing condition
since Missioner Crittenden left Belle-
fonte. Mr. Carson was superintend-
ent of the Sunday school held in the
little chapel and never missed a Sun-
day when his health permitted him at-
tending, and was also a regular at-
tendant at the weekly prayer meet-
ings.

iA Busy Evening for the Borough
Dads.
An unusual amount of business was
brought before borough council at the
regular meeting on Monday evening.
In the absence of the president, John
S. Walker, Dr. J. M. Brockerhoff was
elected president pro tem.
Burgess Blanchard was present and
again called the attention of council
to the urgent need of-a fire alarm, but
under existing circumstances in Belle-
fonte the question seems a hard one
. to settle, so the matter was again left
to the Fire and Police committee. The
burgess also asked the action of coun-
cil in the matter of keeping a guard
over the reservoir at night. Mr.
Blanchard also called attention to his
1 recommendation of a month or more
ago that a monument or marker, be
erected in the triangle in the Diamond
and a red light be installed thereon
as a guide for automobilists. M. R.
Johnson has designs for a suitable
marker and the matter was referred
to the Street committee.
W. Harrison Walker Esq., was
present and presented another ordi-
| nance covering the sale of the Pruner
| property in Tyrone, explaining that
| the one presented at the last meeting
was defective in several sections but
that the one he presented had been
approved by the U. S. district attor-
ney. The ordinance passed first read-
ing.
A written communication was re-
ceived from the street commissioner
complaining about the filthy condition
of the gutters on several streets in
the town, stating that the employees
on the street refused to clean them on
account of the stench. Mr. Harris, of
the Street committee, suggested that
property owners in the district com-
plained about be given ten days in
which to tap the sewer, and failing to
do so that the work be done by the
borough at the expense of the prop-
erty owner plus twenty per cent. of
the cost thereof. The matter was fi-
nally referred to the Street commit-
tee and borough solicitor with power
to act.
A communication was received from
policeman H. E. Yerger asking for an
increase of ten dollars a month in
salary, owing to the high cost of liv-
ing. Referred to the Fire and police
committee for investigation and re-
port.
A letter was received from the Bell
Telephone company of Pennsylvania
notifying council that they had ac-
cepted the provisions of the ordinance
passed at the last meeting of council
granting them the privilege of laying
conduits, ducts, ete., to install an un-
derground wire system.
A letter was received from the
State-Centre Electric company mak-
ing complaint about the condition of
the pump at the Phoenix mill pump-
ing station, claiming that it is woe-
fully lacking in efficiency, and that
unless other arrangements are made
the company will terminate its con-
tract for pumping the water on July
1st, the end of their fiscal year. The
company also presented various bills
for labor, supplies, ete. After con-
siderable discussion the matter was
referred to the Special committee
with the suggestion that superintend-
ent H. J. Thompson be asked to ap-
pear before council at the next meet-
ing and make a satisfactory explana-
tion of the points at issue.
Chairman Harris, of the Street
committee, reported a general clean-
ing up and presented the request of
all the street employees for an in-
crease in wages. At present the
street commissioner is paid $2.00 per
day, laborers $1.75 and the street
sweepers $1.45. The matter was re-:
ferred back to the committee for fur-
ther investigation and report at next
meeting.
Chairman Seibert, of the Water
committee, reported that the efficien-
cy of the pump at the Phoenix mill
pumping station is as great now as
at any time within the past year. He
stated that Mr. Thompson had fur-
nished him a list of new parts which
he claims the pump needs badly, but
to get them will cost $776.00, and he
declined to recommend them as need-
ed at this time. He further stated
that if the pump is given more care-
ful attention it will be all right.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented the burgess’ check for $25.00
for fines and licenses collected. Mr.
Flack further reported that he had
called the attention of the police to
the non-observance of the traffic or-
dinance by automobilists and the po-
lice told him they are working un-
der the orders of the burgess.
The Finance committee presented
the report of the borough treasurer
which showed a balance in the treas-
ury on May 1st of $2,885.02. The
treasurer also asked for the renewal
of a note for $5,000 dated May 5th
for six months, one for $1,500 dated
May 5th for six months, and one for
$600 dated May 5th for one year, all
of which were authorized. As chair-
man of the Finance committee Dr.
Brockerhoff presented a statement
showing that for the year 1916 the
borough receipts were a little over
four thousand dollars in excess of the
expenses, and inasmuch as the finan-
| ces are mow in better shape than
i ever he gave it as the recommendation
| of the committee that the interest tax
| be reduced from 5 to 4 mills, the
i street tax to remain at 6 mills and the
{borough 4 mills. The recommenda-
| tion was accepted and approved by
icouncil. Dr. Brockerhoff further
| stated that he understood the poor
department will reduce its tax one
mill, which will make a two mill re-
duction in the tax rate in the borough.
The Water committee recommend-
ed that the water ordinance present-
ed at a recent meeting be laid on the
table and it was so ordered.
On motion the hitching post ordi-
| nance presented at the last meeting
| was held over until the next meeting
for further action.
The question of a guard at the res-
ervoir was taken up and discussed.
One or two members of council
thought the place ought to be guard-
ed, others that a cover be built over
the reservoir and others that a strong
barbed wire fence be erected around
{it. The matter was finally referred
|to the Water committee for investi-
| gation and report at next meeting.
| Bills to the amount of $1,310.41
| were approved and council adjourned.

——“Balanced Rations,” by Dr.
Guy C. Given, Associate Professor of
Experimental chemistry, The Penn-
sylvania State College, will be next
in the “Health and Happiness” series.
In language devoid of technical
phrases and simple enough for any-
one to understand, Dr. Given will ex-
plain the difference between “repair”
and “energy or heat-producing foods.”
This will be followed by other articles
on food values, the aim of which is to
give scientific knowledge of nutrition
that will be of practical service to our
readers.
——R. B. Spangler and his family
are arranging to move from Barnes-

fonte has succeeded well enough to
permit his retirement from active bus-
iness. He will probably rent the Epis-
copalian rectory.
